Happy Birthday Aries! You are the initiator and where the astrological cycle begins. It all starts with you, Aries, and now the Sun has come to light your very best angles. With the spark of the Sun catching you fire, there isn’t anything you can’t accomplish this month. Swagger into work. Set that start-up into motion. On the 4th of the month, we get the change-forcing energy of an eclipse. For you Aries, this energetic reckoning manifests in your relationship sector. The eclipse will either nudge you together or launch you into different orbits. Why fight what is inevitable? Tension brews between your professional obligations and your personal desires for freedom. Who are you beyond your occupation? Right now, you feel like a foot soldier in someone else’s army, when your true destiny is to lead your own brigade.

Taurus

A yearly tradition of a spa week in April would be a beautiful gift to yourself, Taurus. Even if you can’t literally slip away into a tub of mud, self-spa whenever possible this month. Chow on the first wave of organic spring vegetables. Slip crisp white linens on your bed. Artistic endeavors feel good in April; dance, sing, paint, crochet. Create an offering. The eclipse of the 4th triggers a manic cleaning spree not a minute too soon. A clean home streamlines your life, Taurus. April isn’t going to be easy interpersonally. Relationships suffer the strain of some tense celestial standoffs. Bulls are usually the stubborn ones, but this month others will test your resolve.

Gemini

You’ll be even more addicted to your FB page in super social April, Gemini. You can’t wait to connect with your friends and celebrate spring with a few rounds of cocktails on the lanai. At work, always the smarty, Gemini enjoys problem solving with new colleagues. The eclipse on the 4th influences your romance realm. If you are alone, you might find yourself together. If you are together, you may find yourself suddenly alone. Eclipses force change, so expect a palpable shift. Romance, friendships, and your sense of stability compete for attention in April. Everybody has an agenda. Your tendency to slow down and retreat may come in handy towards the end of the month when you’ll need some much needed grounding.

Cancer

All aboard the train to your professional destiny, Cancer! This train has several stops, so you should invest in the sleeper car and settle in for the long haul. The first depot houses your accumulated career accomplishments. A moment to grandstand in the cacophony of accolades won’t hurt. The 4th’s eclipse causes drama in ladytown. Conflict ignites with a close female friend or relative, and neither of you much feels like compromising. After some retroactivity in your career section, April 8th eliminates that resistance you’ve been experiencing and professional matters progress in a profitable fashion. If you find yourself annoyed with other people this month, you are the one who is actually annoying.

Leo

Spring Break, anyone? You are ready to get the fuck out of dodge for some much needed rest in a far-flung locale, Leo. April’s all about big risks and big rewards for you. The 4th offers an eclipse which inspires change on the homefront. Perhaps a reworking of your interior is in order? Your mind and body are at odds this month. Your deep need for self-expression manifests in a few awkward moments in April. Leo struggles between needing to shut the fuck up and needing to scream from the roof tops. In all your interactions, consider a happy medium between shouting and silence in the form of clear and assertive commentary.

Virgo

Virginal what? You’re a dirty slut this month, Virgo. How fun! Just teasing you Virgo, it isn’t sluttery that interests you but, deep, total, and complete merger on every satisfying level. You’ve put a significant amount of thought into how you want your life to look though you doubt your ability to execute your dreams on your own terms. Hogwash. You don’t need deep pockets or any seal of approval to move forward on shaping a visionary life, Virgo. The eclipse of the 4th influences your finances with sudden epiphanies about work and the best use of your talents. Listen Virgo, you know you can be a real dick at times. This April nobody has the patience to deal with your ornery bullshit.

Libra

April provides a great opportunity to evaluate your primary partner, Libra. Are you getting what you need out of this relationship whether personal or professional? April amplifies any imbalances in this relationship making the unequal efforts painfully clear. The eclipse on the 4th challenges your sense of personal independence. Have you been so consumed with painting a pretty picture of your life that you neglected to assert your needs? Libra struggles among the competing forces of self, primary relationship and family. This month, nobody seems to keen to compromise, but that doesn’t mean it is your obligation to give in to unreasonable demands.

Scorpio

Among your myriad talents, practicality stands out as one of your most useful, Scorpio. In April, you apply your no-nonsense approach to organizing and streamlining every area of your life. Results-oriented accomplishments like completing your taxes, sorting stacks of paperwork, and clearing the clutter feel particularly satisfying to you now. The eclipse of the 4th presents an opportunity for healing. It may be time to let go of something, someone, a notion, or unrealistic idea. This month, Scorpio offers a grounding and calming influence to those coming undone. Don’t come unraveled yourself.

Sagittarius

Spring fling, Sagittarius, April is all about fun for you! Start with an inspired shift in your appearance. Why not go really dramatic and start conversations? You still gotta deal with rigid-ass Saturn harnessing your glee, and this month the task-master planet goes retrograde. Keep up the diligent work you’ve been doing on yourself and you should survive with relatively few limitations on your festivities. Fortunately, Jupiter starts moving again and encourages you to expand your horizons – perhaps with a little travel? The eclipse on the 4th creates division in the team. It is up to you to pull all the uncompromising factions back together.

Capricorn

Snug up Capricorn, you don’t feel like doing much outside your home this April. Make your favorite meals. Hang with your favorite women. On the 4th, an eclipse influences your professional sphere. Eclipses are synonymous with abrupt change and a realignment of priorities. In the midst of the upheaval, turn to trusted male figures for guidance. There will be moments in April where it feels like every major area of your life is at odds from your personal identity to family and your career. If the situation becomes too pressured, flee for solitude where you can do you best thinking, sorting, and deciding.

Aquarius

Hey smarty! Aquarius thinks, writes, and communicates on a higher frequency this April. Your admirable quality output will be the envy office-wide. Apply any excess energy and verve to help those who could use a hand – particularly with writing like resumes and professional materials. April 4th’s eclipse has you asking deeper questions about the trajectory of your life. Does your day-to-day routine support your higher calling? If not, enroll in a program or shift your focus so that your daily activities support your larger mission. While others struggle with each other this month, your conflict is primarily a self-limiting internal chafe between your personal growth, subconscious beliefs, and intellect.

Pisces

Your mind is on your money this April, Pisces. Your issue is spending, so get realistic about your income to outcome ratio. Part of the problem is your fondness for convenience and your tendency towards laziness. It’s easier to run to the corner store and buy one ice tea than hike it all the way to the bulk store for the best buy, but those hassle-lessening decisions are draining your bank account. A smidge of effort in planning your week and budget make major impacts on your bottom line. The eclipse of the 4th brings a reckoning to that new relationship in the form of an explosive conflict that only the strongest connections will survive. This epic battle exposes the unworthy – and this time it might be you that’s lacking.

Happy Birthday Pisces! It’s your turn to dance with the Sun in March, and the warm embrace couldn’t come a moment sooner as far as you’re concerned. You already understand your capacity for visionary dreams, but execution isn’t your strength. The universe provides Pisces that added kick of power in March to actually effectuate on those lofty ambitions. Even during this auspicious time, a bitch fight between Pluto and Uranus bleeds aggravation and tension into mid-March like an unwelcome crampy period. The lesson for you Little Fish is how to not give a fuck about what other people think or let their opinions navigate your swim. Instinctively, you know the right way. Don’t let the crushing pressure of conformity dim your creativity or cause you to compromise your true values.

Aries

With the Sun in Pisces, the universe wants you to rest now, Aries, and you are happy to oblige. Blame it on the long, cold, winter. Sift through the past twelve months for unresolved anguish. Give yourself the gift of dissolving that angst before we move into your time to shine later this month and into the next. Doing so will provide you the clarity you need to determine your next major leap. If you can afford it, hire someone to tidy your home. You’ll feel so much better in an organized space, but you won’t have the time or inclination to do it yourself this March. The acrimony between Uranus and Pluto influences your feelings about authority this month. If someone is making you his little bitch, it’s because you are letting him.

Taurus

Your theme this March is teamwork, Taurus. The Sun activates collaborative energy and adds a buzzy quality to your social and professional interactions. March is a get-shit-done month for you, Taurus, during which you demonstrate your efficiency, effectiveness, and most valuable qualities. Your best day for self-confidence is March 5th. When you feel good about yourself others notice, so don’t be surprised if a little recognition or flirtation gravitates your way. The challenge for March is Pluto and Uranus at odds. This conflicting energy calls into question your coping mechanism, which let’s be honest is just a euphemism for addiction. Take responsibility. Virtually nothing is in our control, Taurus, and accepting this precariousness is your ongoing challenge.

Gemini

Greetings Gemini, with the Sun in Pisces your focus in March is on how your career trajectory may or may not support your long-term ambitions. Your ongoing resistance to change is a major source of frustration for you. Gemini’s most fortuitous day this month is March 3rd. March 5th is the best day to spend with your family tidying and nesting at home. With regard to relationships, Gemini’s bound for a breakthrough or a break-up. As for the Pluto/Uranus standoff, over the last few years you’ve been tied down and totally free. Your emotional extremes have wrecked havoc on your relationships and financial stability. A reckoning comes with Saturn’s retrograde when you realize just how disconnected you’ve become from the people who truly matter.

Cancer

These last months have forced you to face some hard truths, Cancer. Whether it’s loss, change, or disappointment, you’ve been a little melancholy over the finality of life’s harder lessons. March brings a renewed optimism about what is possible with the resources available to you. As you get over what you don’t have, you better appreciate your own abundance. The first week of March brings an answer you’ve been waiting for. Spend the 5th with your sibling. On the 16th, the percolating tension between your personal life and your professional life simmers over into a mess. You’ll be scrubbing off the residue for the rest of the month. Saturn’s retrograde will make it impossible to ignore your ongoing health issues.

Leo

March proves more low-key for Leo. Snugging up at home with your sweetie and waiting it out for spring sounds pretty good to most Lions this time year. Your best career day falls on March 5th when a bonus, raise, or recognition is likely. Pluto and Uranus call you out on your bullshit this month. Any hyperbole on your part will be met with a cold splash of reality. Don’t exaggerate on what you can deliver. March is a good month to talk less and relax. Do only the essential; contribute what is required. Save your energy and resources for a time when you can navigate matters with more grace and efficiency, Leo.

Virgo

The light shines on your relationships in March, Virgo. Even with all this delicious coupling, March 5th is your best day to go it alone. Mid-month, an uncomfortably tense power struggle between Uranus and Pluto make it impossible for you to hide your true feelings. Strip away the artifice lest you be stripped bare and caught defenseless. Relax your retentive tendencies this March. Talk a little less and listen with an open heart. Such a strategy should get you cleanly through the thicket of possible misfortune. Saturn’s retrograde triggers a reflection on your current home life. Are you ready for a change?

Libra

Mundane March you might call it, Libra. This month has you sweeping, mopping, dusting, and donating, all in service to your home. While it may not be the sexiest use of your time, the very action of cleaning and sorting will inspire change in a number of other key areas of your life. The hostility between Pluto and Uranus challenges family dynamics. Aren’t you a little old for trying to please your folks? You’ll never make them happy anyway, so just do you. Yeah, you may experience a bit of a backlash, but don’t let it affect your self-worth. Usher in the official start of spring with a commitment to a new and sustainable wellness plan. Keep it simple and commit.

Scorpio

March means well, Scorpio, with the stars aligning to shine a glamorous spotlight on you. March 5th is your best day for connecting through technology which allows you to expand your reach and influence to a much broader audience. Connect with your spiritual community. Jupiter influences your career, especially the 3rd, when you may receive an unusual, but interesting professional opportunity that takes you away for awhile. While at first, it seems outlandish, don’t discard the notion outright. Pluto’s standoff with Uranus encourages Scorpio to soften your delivery. Mid-month, no one will have any patience for one of your ill-timed barbs. Don’t let a health concern become a health crisis. The first day of Spring brings love and luck.

Sagittarius

For you Sag, March is a maternal, homebound time for family rooted in domesticity. Bake a muffin, bitch. When you’ve soaked up all the homespun charm you can handle, March 5th is your best career day where you finally start to net what you are worth. Sags are prone to bouts of self-doubt. The Pluto and Uranus pissing contest strikes a deep chord of insecurity. Your challenge is to dig deep into your well of self-confidence. You can’t be so easily rattled by life’s little divots. Saturn is all up in your business for the next few years, and goes retrograde for a spell this month. Saturn doesn’t allow for any short cuts. Connections and nepotism aren’t going to get you there, but hard work will.

Capricorn

You are especially smart and intellectually nimble this March, Capricorn. If you want to learn something new, this is the time to do it. March 5th is your best day for travel and revelations. Pluto’s been fucking with you a little bit, and this month he wedges his boot in your ass in a cosmic tug of war with Uranus. You’ll feel the stress in your home and intimate relationships. Stay out of the numerous power struggles taking place in your realm. This isn’t the time to throw your weight around just because you’ve lost your temper. If you lack the self-control to manage your temper, then just stay home and isolate, especially mid-month. A few days alone would do you good, Capricorn.

Aquarius

After your birthday blowout last month Aquarius, the most basic and simple concerns come back into focus this March. You take a good look at your incoming resources and your current expenditures and find an unsustainable imbalance. An immediate raise may not be possible, but present yourself at work as if it were. You never know. Another option? On March 5th, consider a merger either professional or personal that helps ease both parties’ economic burdens. With Pluto and Uranus at odds, March isn’t an ideal month for big decisions like marriage or a new home. This energy also makes you a bit snippy, so add an extra layer of icing to your conversational cake.

Happy Birthday Aquarius! The Sun empowers you in February and there’s an undeniable zing to your energy. Even with your Aquarian glow, mind your manners during Mercury’s retrograde, our collective cross to bear through the 11th. Miscommunication causes misunderstandings which have the potential for conflict. Haven’t you seen Three’s Company? February 18th is a particularly fortuitous day for you. A new moon brings you the opportunity for fresh starts and planting the seedlings of future growth. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: focus your romantic energy on one person and discover your capability for a deep and lasting partnership.

Pisces

February requires a good deal of personal tidying up and the excuses must stop if you are truly going to evolve. Pisces are a bit delusional, and that’s because you aren’t much for the nitty-gritty details. Apply discipline to get dirty deep in minutiae in February. Start with the stack of paperwork that serves as a wellspring of stress. Implement and keep up with simple healthy routines. Pisces tend towards the elaborate, but often find you lack the attention to detail to follow through on such demanding self-imposed requirements. You are so romantic Pisces; it is one of your best qualities. Chocolate dip your Valentine in love this year. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: organize your life to support your best health.

Aries

February is the month of love and this year is rich with possibilities for romance and pregnancy. Have you been craving a deeper level of commitment and additional responsibility? Take the lead and communicate your expectations to your partner. Everyone appreciates your gutsy personal style, but lately the Aries aesthetic has skewed a bit fug. One risky statement is fine, but keep the rest of your look simple, well-made, and tailored. Remember that Mercury’s in retrograde through the 11th, so that explains why your cell phone is on the fritz. Your mission, should you choose to accept it: propose.

Taurus

The first half of February illuminates your career ambitions and trajectory, Taurus. Strip away the superfluous to focus your full energy on where you really want to go. Make plans through the 11th, and then when Mercury comes correct you can begin to implement action. Take extra care at work where you are prone to making errors under the influence of Mercury’s retrograde. Some of you will use the Leo full moon as a good excuse to get up and out of your current living situation. Go for it; a change of scene would do you good. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, love, and goodwill, your mission should you choose to accept it: let go of that venomous grudge you’ve been clinging to like a like raft.

Gemini

Mercury your ruler is in retrograde and that has you all misty-eyed for the past, Gemini. Sentimental and nostalgic on the inside, blunt and offensive on the outside, temper your truth-telling tongue through the 11th. Your version of the truth is a little too bitter for some to swallow. Use your knack for technology to connect with others in February. Whatever plans you implement during the new moon on the 18th will see full bloom in July. Think longer-term. Also on the 18th, the light shifts towards your career and you get a surge of ambition during an already successful period for you professionally. Your mission should you choose to accept it: exhibit as much compassion as you do intelligence.

Cancer

February’s gotcha thinking about a special few, specifically those with whom you share your resources, Cancer. Family-oriented and homespun, tap into your inner circle to firm up your sense of long-term security. Cancer drifts towards the dramatic during Mercury’s retrograde, when you hear yourself picking an unnecessary argument, consider whether it’s a battle even worth winning. Technological, travel, and money glitches are all on the menu through the 11th. February 3rd is your best day for career recognition. February 18th is the best day to evaluate your relationship for long-term viability. Your mission should you choose to accept it: protect your assets with a financial plan.

Leo

Mercury’s still in retrograde through February 11th, Leo, and for you that means random inconvenient delays often a result of the 2nd hand effects of other folks’ bad luck. The third’s full moon stokes your fires of self-expression. Take advantage of this blessing of energy to recognize what you’ve manifested over the last half year or what you would like to initiate now to bloom in July. The 18th is Leo’s most sexy and auspicious day. Your mission should you choose to accept it: use Valentine’s Day to go hard for that cutie you’ve had your eye on.

Virgo

In February, the Sun stokes your fires of organization. Messy Virgos may balk at tidy stereotypes associated with your sign. That’s really too narrow a reading on your kind. What you like is control and you assert it by organizing, specifically in the areas of health and wellness. Mercury spins retrograde through the 11th and as a governing planet; you may find your best laid plans run amok. The 3rd presents a meaningful opportunity for healing. Finally, you are able to see situations from a bird’s eye view providing much needed perspective. Your mission should you choose to accept it: enough with the martyr shit.

Libra

You’re like a warm hug this in February, Libra. Get out and flaunt that famous Libran beauty. You’ll be welcomed at gatherings for the fun, playful, and sexy energy you add. With this surge of outgoing communicative energy, also comes the allure to manipulate situations. With Mercury in retrograde through the 11th, there will be times this month you think you’re cute and you’re really just rude. Much of that discernment comes from sobriety, so ease up on the libations, bitch. Your mission should you choose to accept it: open your heart to love.

Scorpio

Make way for a softer Scorpio in February. Tidy up your nest and settle in to a couple good weeks of domesticity. When your home is ordered, your life is easier. You and a friend may have a come to Gsus moment this month. Should such a conversation arise, navigate it with compassion. You already know you can “win” any argument, but often at the cost of relationships. Just let her have her say. February 3rd is your superstar career day. Your mission should you choose to accept it: focus only on what is essential.

Sagittarius

February’s a brainy month for you, Sagittarius. If you are thinking about sending out a round of resumes this is a great time to interview. Sags come off especially well-spoken and confident this month. On the 3rd, a continuing education seminar wouldn’t hurt, especially if you can turn it into a little trip. Buzzy communication lights up your phone and you love the wellspring of attention, but a few wires may get crossed thanks to Mercury’s retrograde that runs through the 11th. Your mission should you choose to accept it: read a book.

Capricorn

Capricorn amps productivity in all areas in February making this month super busy and likely to fly by. Mercury’s retrograde annoys you with clerical errors and computer glitches through the 11th. February 3rd is your best day for a major merger – personal or financial. February 18th is your best day for money and setting up the groundwork of future stability. Take some time the second half the February to enjoy creative pursuits. Balance the work with with fun play. Your mission should you choose to accept it: accept change like an old friend.

Happy Birthday Capricorn! The New Year has you interested in wellness and self-care. Clean up the eat-out-of-convenience diet and break a dripping sweat. Focusing on yourself can be challenging for you Cap, but you’ll benefit greatly from some much needed attention. The planets provide extra support to keep with routines and new habits. Most Capricorns are financially solvent because you work hard and sparingly spend, but January brings on a craving for luxury that you just can’t ignore. Splurge kid. You deserve a fatty birthday treat. Unfortch, we’ll all feel the effects of Mercury’s retrograde after the 21st, so if you want to take a trip or sign important documents get it done before the perilous backspin. For Capricorn, Saturn forces closure in situations left undone; there’s no avoiding a few difficult conversations.

Aquarius

Aquarius starts off the year in conflict feeling like hitting the town and tucking into bed for a snooze. Competing energies face-off, to which will you succumb? Set intentions under the full moon in Aquarius on the 20th. Then wait out the identity crisis that comes with Mercury’s retrograde scheduled to commence on the 21st. You may feel a sudden rush to drastically alter your appearance and this would not be an appropriate time for that Aquarius. Retrograde haircuts are not a good look. Saturn demands a reworking of your less balanced friendships. A few of those low-hangers could go.

Pisces

Pisces enjoys spending the first few days of the year snugged in close to home nurturing family and friends. The 4th is a great day for bold proclamations or risk-taking; luck’s in your favor. Keep social engagements spiritually bent and constructive. With a cluster of planets luring you into your astrological bedroom, all you really want to do is sleep. Turn everything off and hibernate, Pisces; it’s that time of year. If you want to catch up on sleep at your favorite seaside resort, do so before Mercury turns retrograde on the 21st.

Aries

Aries confronts 2015 with confidence and security which can only come from spending time with a reliable group of friends. Social obligations extend well past the holidays. These gatherings offer opportunities to strengthen connections and expand your social circle. Mercury goes retrograde the 21st, so get any contracts signed, travel completed, and upgrade technology before the backspin commences. Use Saturn’s influence to structure your education and travel plans over the next few years. The planet’s task-masker energy aids in achieving your long-term ambitions.

Taurus

January’s particularly fortuitous for you Taurus, so gamble with an aim towards expansion. If you need to get outta town for self-improvement moment, get it done before the 21st when Mercury turns retrograde. The career momentum you picked up in December continues to build towards your long-term goals through January. Spend time with the important men in your life especially the one with whom you have a simmering unresolved conflict. Saturn forces Taurus to restructure shared finances. Bulls tend to over-give, so politely demand a restoration of balance when it comes to the household expenses and chores.

Gemini

Gemini would rather ring the New Year in with a snooze than booze this year. You are ready to let go of the pain and regrets of the past and start the year with a healing trajectory. Relief comes in the form of a cluster of activity in your house of adventure, travel, and education. Where do you want to go and what do you want to learn? The status quo isn’t inspiring you to attack each day as if it were your last. Grab life by the balls in January, Gemini. Around January 20th, two different energies enter the scene. Aquarius provides a blessing of luck in the face of risk, but Mercury’s retrograde can court you into a two steps forward three steps back style fox trot.

Cancer

In January, the full moon illuminates your house of identity which gives you the added power to assert your needs, Cancer. January presents opportunities for merging which test Cancer’s capacity for sharing. As the money starts to flow in there are chances to commingle and invest, but a move in this direction requires you come fully clean about all your past financial messiness. Don’t lie about money. Mercury spins retrograde on the 21st, so get any important paperwork, transactions, or deals signed, sealed, and delivered before then to spare yourself the trials of this tricky influence. Others, acting out of frustration, may attack you and trigger a fight. Chalk it up to the weird energy of the retrograde and forgive easily and quickly.

Leo

Oh Leo, you are such a warm and welcoming spirit for the New Year. December required a great deal from you, and January provides a great time to connect with friends and family one-on-one without all the expectations of the holidays. With regard to your lovah, it might be time to say later. You aren’t feeling needy folks in 2015. Devote all that extra time you have in the vacancy of your relationship to major self-improvement. Leo benefits from professional help, especially in areas that require a great deal of self-discipline. Get it right and get it tight, Leo, because 2015 has all the energetic ingredients for a possible engagement. Execute in the areas of contracts, travel, and technology before Mercury turns retrograde on the 21st.

Virgo

Virgo kicks off 2015 with ambition! What do you want to achieve this year? Already a professional powerhouse in your daily grind, how can you elevate above and beyond your current station? You are capable of even more, so place no restrictions on the largess of your dreams. Virgos feel particularly passionate, potent, and expressive the first three weeks of January. This is an exceptional time to engage in any artistic pursuits. Create something beautiful for someone you love. Clear the air of any conflict on the 4th and celebrate the peace-making with a festive evening. Your health and well-being require your attention in January. Curb the overindulgence.

Libra

This January Libra’s humming Lykke Li’sThere’s a Possibility. With an optimistic spirit, you look forward to all the opportunity for adventure and new challenge in 2015. The first three weeks make a wonderful time for hosting, domesticity, and nourishing family and friends in your home. The 4th brings clarity to a professional situation. Are you moving up or moving out? Take responsibility for your own behavior and decisions. Libra continues to keep it sexy through the first half of January. What makes you so desirable now is your ability to express your emotions without restraint. If you have your eye on someone, initiate now. The 21st brings Mercury’s retrograde, so back up your phone and computer should bad tech mojo come your way.

Scorpio

Scorpio welcomed the New Year with a round of applause from a crowd of adoring fans, but all that adulation doesn’t really quench your thirst for a meaningful and deeply connected relationship. You require total devotion from your tribe and some shaky relationships may not survive the higher level of relationship scrutiny you roll out in 2015. Saturn finally orbited out of Scorpio and not a moment too soon. You’ve had enough tough life lessons in the last two years, but the challenging times taught you much in the way of self-sufficiency. Saturn moves on to Sagittarius where it will continue to influence your career in a number of positive ways.

Sagittarius

Saturn entered your sign at the end of last month, Sag, and the planet of structure and discipline has quite the agenda for you over the next few years. There are no shortcuts. Several planets cluster in your communication sector making you chatty, chatty, chatty. This urge to verbally purge can work for or against you depending on your ability to self-edit. Needless to say, there’s a risk for Sag’s thoughtless blabbing to cause serious damage to relationships. Mercury turns retrograde on the 21st which can cause further friction in your important relationships. Take a breath before reacting harshly. Rely on your partner for support when frustrated.

Happy Birthday Sagittarius! With the Sun shining on you for most of the month, Sags enjoy the warmth of attention and adulation in December. Not to be mistaken as self-centered, Sags now thrive in a self-focused energy devoted to physical, spiritual, and psychological wellness. Venus enters the scene to enhance your appearance and smooth the jagged edges of your personality. The darker side of this planet encourages self-indulgence and overspending. Do you seriously you want to spend January dragging yourself out of a caloric or financial hole? Can you honestly afford to go that BIG this month? The first half of December will involve a ton of chat, mostly electronic, and much of it tediously boring. Information overload leaves you feeling buried in minutia. Don’t feel like you have to respond to every text instantaneously. It would do you good to wait a beat.

Capricorn

December serves as a period of introspection and ego softening before the spotlight shines on you during your birthday. Rely on December’s gift of unusually keen emotional perceptions because your trusty analytical skills fail in December. You find yourself drifting away into future visions and then startling back to reality. Less expressive externally, but churning on the inside, Capricorn feels misunderstood, unseen, and unheard for much of December. If you want someone to know it; say it. Capricorn tends to guard hard-earned money, but Venus ushers in a bit of a self-indulgent streak. When you want to splurge, you find a way to justify it. Your best moments this month will be the ones you spend alone.

Aquarius

Pop the champers Aquarius! You are the fizz in the zodiac cocktail in December. Aquarius cultivates assertiveness and leadership in social situations this month. Knitting together friends, acquaintances, and business contacts is crucial for materializing a future dream. Achievement is within your reach if you assemble the right team. Uncertainty clouds your emotions. Use a constructive activity like yoga, meditation, or prayer to quiet the storm. Many demands threaten to drain your vital energy. Sleep often and soundly. Avoid sick people. Eat nutritiously. Any slips in self-care will manifest as inconvenient illness.

Pisces

In December, you become acutely aware of your physical appearance, Pisces. More than a vain preoccupation, you yearn to be taken seriously. You understand the limitations of the rules currently binding your life and are willing to take on the accompanying responsibility. The boss notices for sure. Friendship plays a major role in December. Offer a good word to help a colleague ascend. The kind deed will come back threefold. An opportunity to pool resources with an old friend could result in material gain for you should you both be willing to overcome the short-term obstacles. Neptune’s on-going influence makes you overly accommodating. Don’t sacrifice your own agenda for the preferences of others.

Aries

You’ve got an inkling to get outta town in December, Aries. It’s not just about a change of scenery, though you crave that too, it’s more about exposure to new ideas. Consider a retreat or brief study abroad program. If you are scared to go alone, recruit a friend, just know you’ll need to assume the lead. Much of what you wish to accomplish this month requires a great deal of physical effort on your part. Take on the responsibility rather than delegate it. Mars adds an aggressive tenor to conversations which can make you and others appear pushy. When tensions arise, hold your position without reacting impulsively. For the next several months, Aries enjoys Jupiter’s influence which means fun with kids and animals.

Taurus

December triggers emotional sea change for Taurus. Ultimately, your theme in December is “feel it out.” During this tumult, give due weight to another’s feelings and consider a change in your own behavior. Under the influence of Venus, you will benefit from the generosity of others. Use this energy to guide any pending negotiations. Close the deal with detailed communications and careful review. Taurus, when you sign on the dotted line prepare to follow through. The second half of the month launches a fresh palette and new discoveries. Make sure you are physically strong enough to get the most out of this time as it will require substantial energy.

Gemini

Partner-up Gemini, you’re not feeling solo situations in December. Through the 11th, Venus has you all loved up, feeling closer than ever, and adding new depth to your relationship. You may decide to invest in property together or create other material bonds. A paperwork bog threatens to dampen the festive mood. Work through the thick stack with attention to detail. It’s best you handle sensitive information yourself. Gemini relies heavily on your analytical mind, but your intuition is particularly strong and clear in December. Use this heightened sense to your advantage, but play your cards close to your chest.

Cancer

December highlights your need to get organized in a particular area of concern like health or home, Cancer. Start with a fatty to-do list and work your way through systematically. Cancer doesn’t love manual labor and your list of chores is grueling. Get the whole gang together for a worthwhile effort like a group clean up for an ailing relative. Daily drivel like paperwork, email, and busy work require substantial energy this month, but fear not, December isn’t all mundane practicality. Venus serves to enhance and deepen bonds. Smooch under the mistletoe. Rather than overspend on frivolity this holiday season, invest in the future of your children.

Leo

Lit up like a Christmas tree, Leo brightens up the room in December. Enjoy fun silliness with the kids and animals. Play pranks and laugh loudly. Plan a surprise outing for you and your sweetie. Such gestures serve to strengthen the bonds and good memories between the two of you. Ask for help when you need it. Leo works better as a member of a team in December. The second half of the month will ground you in the more mundane details of life like home repairs, organization, cleaning, and paperwork. Leo makes the drudgery lighthearted with your gregarious go-getter attitude. Your upbeat tenor inspires others to help you cross every last task off your list.

Virgo

Matters involving home improvements and acquisition of property dominate December for Virgo. Some of the changes you are inspired to make in your home are tied to your desire to find a quiet place to think. Venus ushers in a period of domestic tranquility. This month you’ll actually enjoy your family. Virgo’s best moments are among kids and animals during the last two weeks of the month. Allocate resources towards a special gift for your sweetheart. This is not the time to be cheap. Emotionally speaking, Virgos like to schedule over their feelings. Saturn’s got something to say about that this month. There’s no avoiding it; you gotta do the work.

Libra

You are busy in December, Libra. There are people to meet, cards to send, parties to attend, and presents to wrap. The first half of the month, Mercury will support this flurry of activity with a chatty and social influence. Your home will require a great deal of physical effort. Turn to your friends and family for help if you are overwhelmed. Venus makes a good fence mender, so if you are in conflict with a family member now is a good time to make peace. This is a wonderful time to start or continue a tradition with your Dad. Fight every urge to overspend this month.

Scorpio

In December, matters of financial security occupy the Scorpio mind. Where you live, how to make ends overlap, and opportunities for growth have all your attention as you form your agenda for the New Year. Venus greases negotiations, so if you are ready to buy or sell your home now is the time to field offers. The influence of Venus helps ameliorate conflict, so use this softening to make peace with any warring factions. Scorpio loathes small talk, but in December those seemingly insignificant daily interactions burst with fruit flavor. Just as Christmas Eve rolls in so will a wave of financial insecurity. Consume less.

Happy Birthday Scorpio! Enough lurking in the shadows calculating your plan, assert yourself and put your strategy in play. Enjoy the energetic emphasis on your sign this month and use the focus to make some serious headway on your personal fatty to-do list. Don’t confuse selfishness with self-prioritizing. Scorpios think they have great ideas for everybody else’s life, but that ain’t your biznass kid. Turn that analytic eye into the looking glass and make a change. Have you been rocking a signature look for eons like your Scorpio sister Anna Wintour? Well it might just be time to rework that bob, girl. To paraphrase Diane Von Furstenberg, become the woman you want to be even if you aren’t exactly sure what you want to do. Craft your appearance and attitude to emit the perception you want to exude. Scorpio stands to make great professional strides by materializing concrete plans, especially after the 22nd. Scattered Scorpios pull it together by cutting the bullshit and prioritizing.

Sagittarius

November serves Sagittarius by providing a time for reconciliation, healing, and closure. Theme on forgiveness; mend fences, and clear any lingering tension. Use this time before your birthday to relax, rest, and restore. Avoid pressured social situations. Don’t feel any guilt about your non-committal attitude towards parties and engagements. Evaluate your eating and overall physical wellness this month. How do you feel? What habits are weighing you down, literally and figuratively? Depression-prone Sags experience a dip in mood and enthusiasm in November. Don’t confuse this totally normal seasonal valley with anything more sinister. It will pass and soon you’ll be blowing out the candles on your birthday cake.

Capricorn

Capricorns experience a lift of enthusiasm this November. Others welcome your upbeat spirit at gatherings. Capricorns make a great first impression around the punch bowl. Whatever your professional, social, or romantic overtures they will be well-received. Much of your charm originates in your dry wit which always houses a generous dose of honesty. Your truth-talking really dampens the panties. Great sex is yours for the taking. Mid-month, a wet blanket of a Debbie Downer tries to dim your shine. Don’t let anyone drag you back into tarpits of pessimism. Towards the end of November, tuck in for your annual pre-birthday reflection and respite.

Aquarius

Go get it Aquarius! In November, your vision for long-term professional success matters most to you. For sure, decide what you want and go after it hard in your Aquarian way, but also clean up the murkiness in your professional relationships. Folks respond better when they know where they stand with you. Expect a few and don’t get discouraged by “nos” before you hit that goldmine “yes.” Work with women you love and respect to get your home in order. It’s not that men can’t or shouldn’t clean, specifically this a time for your to surround yourself with feminine energy. Freshen up your situation before the holidays, as you may end up hosting some impromptu gatherings. All this womanly togetherness has you thinking… about a baby? How would a child fit (if at all) into the life you’re building?

Pisces

November will test you to stand up for yourself in a number of ways, Pisces. Usually so easy-going, asserting yourself can feel downright foreign. November challenges you to embrace your power without hesitation. That feeling isn’t paranoia. Someone is working against you. Handle that bitch. Implement simple structure to achieve professional success. Strengthen your organization muscles. You wouldn’t mind a trip, would you? Now that we’re out of Mercury’s retrograde, it’s a less complicated time to travel. Venture forth with confidence. With your own ruler Neptune moving out of retrograde, the confusion lifts and you start to see everything more clearly.

Aries

In November, you are obsessed with the love of your life, Aries. Permanent decisions scare you less now. You consider an engagement or professional merger. All that work you’ve put in the last year finally blossoms into something tangible and credit-worthy. Use the accomplishment as a barometer. Are you proud of what you’ve achieved? Do your values align with the investment of your energy? If not, make a change. You are prone to melancholia this month. You can wallow in superficial ways for a day or two, and then get on with it. Gloom doesn’t suit you. Just in time for Thanksgiving and through most of mid-month, travel appeals to your adventurous streak. Spend a few days with friends or family and a few days for yourself.

Taurus

Timely for the Thanksgiving holiday, you feel especially generous this November, Taurus. You crave partnership, and partnership requires compromise – not exactly your strength. Strike a balance between give and take. Coupledom doesn’t require a forfeiture of your personal interests. When you get in your favorite activities it relieves stress, and you are more fun to be around. You are not alone in feeling depressed this month; many of your zodiac brethren suffer the same rut. Experience the dimming, and then get right back to your typically optimistic nature. Definitely don’t throw your relationship away over a fleeting dark mood. Reject your tendency towards self-flagellation and self-criticism in favor of compassion.

Gemini

Get your life in order Gemini! Organization is your theme this November. You already have a keen eye for detail, but you get so mired down in the minutia you have trouble moving forward and clearing space. Changing your ways requires self-discipline, but curbing your self-indulgent habits makes you a better human, so it’s worth a try. Have you been wrapped in the wish of a person or idea that lives only in your imagination? The first week of November allows you to put the unrealistic notion to rest and let go. Gemini prefers solitude over thick crowds in November, but when you are alone you can easily slip into sadness. Use this time constructively for finishing rather than initiating – you won’t have the ooomf to finish what you start this month.

Cancer

Your old pals bold and sexy narrate your story in November, Cancer. Accept every invitation, and enjoy every party. Laugh loudly and without restraint. You’ll meet new acquaintances with your friendly and engaging manner. Tipple a little, but avoid getting drunk. Not only could it lead to embarrassing (but funny) interludes, the hangovers could lure you into an late autumn depression. The last few months have served up dramatic change. Finally, you begin to hit a steady rhythm and can see your path clearly. A cardinal sign, you’re already a great initiator. November makes a great time for fresh starts and new projects.

Leo

Leo temporarily morphs into Blake Lively this November and cares only for homespun sentiments and nostalgia. You have the sudden urge to invite folks over for tea and feed them your signature snack. Welcome this warm and homey side and enjoy relaxed entertaining. On or near the 6th, a make-or-break moment happens in your career. You’ll break through or you break out; either way you’ll be a happier Leo. Zingy for the holidays, everyone welcomes your enthusiastic attitude at family gatherings. If you are single, there are opportunities for love. Leos interested in a baby, November is a favorable month for fertility.

Virgo

Easily bored, Virgo requires intellectual stimulation in November. Surround yourself with big thinkers and life-long learners. Your best moments this month are conversations of substance. Generally speaking, Virgo prefers a full day, so pack as much in as you can, energy withstanding. A wave of pessimism washes through the zodiac this month and you too could easily get swept away in a sad sea change. More capable than most at reversing the frowns, lend a listening ear and ease the suffering of those around you. When it comes to relationships, speak your truth kindly, but hold off on committing.

Libra

Financial concerns weigh heavily in November for Libra. You vacillate between craving luxury and luxuriating in savings. Feelings of depression, shame, and fear spring up around the topic of money. You are the sign of balance, so spend a little, save a little. Follow the advice of wise investors that you trust. November heightens senses and experiences. Food tastes better. Sex goes deeper. It’s not your usual approach to indulge, but when the going is good, why not? Share your ideas and speak freely. Direct and unequivocal communication plays an important part in the latter part of the month. Remember that indecision is unattractive.

Happy Birthday Libra! Enjoy the warm glow of the sun shining on you during October. Your flock has been rather needy lately, but this month focus on yourself and your own agenda. Instead of trying to organize a self-fête, let your friends plan your birthday celebration. Use Mercury’s retrograde to bathe in nostalgia; include a few pals from the past in your party. Libras will feel the impact of the retrograde professionally. Leave yourself extra time and patience to deal with the accompanying snafus. Realize that the retrograde has a protective quality. Should a situation that you’ve pinned your hopes on fall apart, consider it a blessing in disguise. A lunar eclipse on the 8th strongly nudges Libra to make a decision with regard to your relationship. The second eclipse on the 23rd shifts your standard of living. You’re movin’ on up. Dress the part.

Scorpio

The month before your birthday is best spent resting and preparing for the excitement to come, Scorpio. This restorative energy supports healing and closure. With Mercury in retrograde for most of the month, work the backspinning energy to finish what’s undone and release whatever you need to let go. Retire your bossy and assertive qualities in October in favor of quiet and easy-going because (unusually) you just won’t feel up to a fight. Optimize your health on the lunar eclipse which lands on the 8th. Use this energy to restore balance, clean up any personal messiness, and see a professional if you have any lingering concerns. By the 23rd, the cocooning concludes and you are ready to step into the light of your birthday shine. Caution: October is NOT the month for a radical alteration of your physical appearance.

Sagittarius

October yields numerous social benefits as Sagittarius acts as unofficial cruise director for the rest of the zodiac. Gee wiz, with Mercury in retrograde and two different eclipses occurring this month, we could all use a little levity. The best connections come from situations where you are selflessly giving of your time, talent, and resources. Embrace an “out with the old in with the new” philosophy when it comes to relationships. A person in your sphere may be dicking around working unscrupulous angles behind your back. If the situation smells fishy, pass on the sushi. This is a terrible month to rely heavily or exclusively on technology. Have a secondary plan in place should your device fail you.

Capricorn

October spells achievement for Capricorn. No aim is too high. Go for it because success is likely with the sun illuminating your professional accomplishments. Mercury goes retrograde for most of this month. This energy can cause disruptions in technology and communication, so be patient if your underlings spend most of the month pathetically thrashing around in their own chaos. The first eclipse on the 8th is bound to influence the way you see your relationships. A definitive answer will reveal itself clearly. The second eclipse on the 23rd invites a new circle of friends into your life. Single Caps may find a suitable partner among this new group.

Aquarius

October has a conflicted agenda for you Aquarius. You are imbued with an urge to fly free and travel, but grounded by the complications of pesky Mercury in retrograde which can really fuck up your travel plans. Plan a getaway to commence after the 25th for your best luck in adventuring. For sure you’ll want to flee because an uncomfortably tense work environment develops over the next month. Avoiding the conflict or annoying person won’t work this time. You’re gonna have to nut-up and address it lest it escalate further into a professional embarrassment. The first eclipse of the month on the 8th drops unexpected news. The second eclipse later in the month provides a fresh start at work.

Pisces

October is best spent with your most trusted circle, Pisces. Distribution of finances serves as a major theme this month. Suddenly, you are very interested in where your money goes and with whom you share it. Money plays out as a key issue in relationships – from whether you choose to partner to whether you opt to split. Opportunities for passive income are great, just don’t get seduced by sketchy schemers offering you the world before you see a dime. Use Mercury’s retrograde energy to seal up any old heartbreaks. Reach out to make amends. Avoid signing contracts this month as you are likely to miss important details.

Aries

I wouldn’t call it flailing, but the last couple months haven’t been your most graceful, Aries. October blows a crisp wind of change in your favor. You return to your rightful place at the head of the pack where you express your individuality without reservation. Especially interested getting noticed and heard, take effort to look your best. Quality food and sleep make a substantive difference in your attitude and appearance. Others notice you’re bursting with extra fruit flavor this month and want to get close for a taste. The lunar eclipse in Aries happens on the 8th which will be one of your most auspicious days of the year, and therefore a perfect day for setting a plan into motion. Drop any dead (relationship) weight before this day so as not to obstruct your good luck.

Taurus

Taurus loves a good organization sesh, and October is the perfect time to clean up the mess. Which dark corners of your life could use a good sweep, Taurus? Are you fat? Are you living in filth? Is your credit shameful? Of course not, you’re perfect, right? You work well within the structure of a system, just keep it simple. When you over-complicate you’re less likely to follow through. Mercury’s retrograde tosses in the standard communication complications this month, but it’s nothing you can’t handle with your trademark patience. The lunar eclipse is known for suddenly shifting energy, so change is on the menu for October especially in the realm of healing.

Gemini

October brings big fun Gemini! You are especially attractive and bold this month. Choose among your many admirers. Mercury retrogrades for most of the month. For Gemini this backspin manifests in saying the wrong thing at the wrong time to the wrong person. A verbal lapse in judgment could cost you dearly. Curtail your gossipy nature this fall. The lunar eclipse promises a healthy dose of like-it-or-not change. Expect to clean out your friendship circle under the influence of this eclipse in particular. On the 23rd, take proactive steps to protect your health. Administrate kid! Become the Tracy Flick of your own life.

Cancer

Snug in at home this October, Cancer. While you’re staring at the wall, rearrange the furniture so you can stare at a different one. Funnel your energy into a home makeover, it’s a lot more constructive than most of your other self-soothing activities. From October 4-25, Mercury goes retrograde and travel plans delay, communication breaks down and electronics glitch. Draw upon your most saintly patience and wait out the storm. Provide yourself options in the event you’re stranded. Wrap yourself up in nostalgia to take your mind off annoying retrograde-related distractions. October makes a great month to catch up with old allies.

Leo

Speak your truth, Leo! October makes an excellent time for devout honesty. Expect October to fly by with a ton of responsibility and opportunities for fun. Get your best fall outfit together and go get ‘em. You catch wind of a number of inspiring ideas from interesting people during your myriad engagements. Mercury goes retrograde and with all the possible complications, there are definitely better times to travel, contract, and communicate crucial information. That said, life can’t grind to a halt based on one little backspining planet, so take the proper precautions, back up your data and march ahead soldier. With regard to relationships, Leo feels this retrograde in dealings with a female relative this month. Say what needs to be said Lion – after all your theme this month is devout honesty! Just take a cue from the retrograde and pause a beat before you go hard on anyone. Some words can’t be unsaid.

Virgo

Prioritize work this October, Virgo. Always industrious, October’s work focus allays some of your post-birthday financial anxiety. As you may have heard, Mercury goes retrograde for most of October and that means electronics glitch, planes delay, and contracting should be avoided. In addition to the retrograde, a pair of eclipses – a lunar on the 8th and a new moon on the 23rd – cause quite a reckoning. The first event forces blunt endings to unsatisfying situations, especially shitty relationships. The second of these two celestial events makes an ideal time for seeding a dream into a future reality.

Happy Birthday Virgo! This September, emerge from the shadows and take your place in the limelight where you belong. Before you step into the shine, check your outfit. Honestly, you could do better. While you’re at it, freshen the hair and face. When all eyes turn your way this month, offer the best aesthetic version of yourself in return. Most Virgo penny-pinchers can afford to spend a little on an upgrade. The full moon on the 8th magnifies any weird energy percolating in your relationships. To mitigate the frustration, move forward in some direction. Recognize stagnation is the root problem. While your passion is admirable Virgo, obsessive single-minded tendencies prevent you from making genuine connections with others. Towards the end of the month, get your financial situation organized. Build your life around what is important to you and funnel your resources accordingly.

Libra

The days before your birthday are the best time for quiet rest and solitude, Libra. Relinquish as many responsibilities as possible the first three weeks of the September. Your theme this month: No unnecessary pressure. Remain as unscheduled as possible because Libras need plenty of naps and relaxation. During this personal retreat, Libra may experience a series of unusual dreams. What is your subconscious trying to tell you? In between sleeps, get some fresh air and move your body which will help process your emotional backlog. After a week of lounging, your space is a mess. Use the energy boost of the full moon to tidy up. Clean the floors. You’ll feel better about your life.

Scorpio

September always feels very back-to-school which reflects the social tempo for Scorpio this month. Even though light, airy, and introductory isn’t your favorite way to converse, the Sun in Virgo makes you especially chatty. The first half of the month, you are especially attractive and dynamic. You will feel the heat of attention. Speak your truth compassionately. Use your power for good not evil, Scorpio. Get ready to spill your guts on the full moon (the 8th); you won’t be able to contain yourself. A truthful confession of feeling will bring you two closer. When Scorpio connects with someone of equal passion the union’s combustible. Why fight the obvious lust? Just keep in mind, this is a fertile time.

Sagittarius

You’re one hard-working bitch in September, Sag. Much of your valuable time and energy will go towards professional obligations. Your loved ones will have to wait because Sags prioritize achievement over relationships this month. To make it up to them, show your love by hosting a dinner for family and friends around full moon (8th). Sags in baby-making mode revel in the fertility of the full moon. Along with added charisma, Mars can bring a combative, aggressive edge to your personality. Listen carefully to the subtle cues delivered in the subtext of conversations. If you thoughtlessly overstep, you won’t get away with it this month.

Capricorn

If you can get away Capricorn – do it! The first three weeks of September are perfect for a trip. Spend the time away focusing on yourself. Emerge from your travels with an optimistic perspective. The full moon brings news that could shape the future. The fallout could involve a sibling. Nothing holds you back but your own self-doubt, and it is high time you silenced the negative self-talk. If anyone is capable of achieving the unlikely, you are Capricorn, so untether your dreams. Others respect you professionally because you are so reliable and consistent. Keep every promise to protect that sterling reputation.

Aquarius

While intelligent, no one really ever accused you of being “too deep,” Aquarius. You take in the big picture, but also tend to skim the surface. In September, you’ll feel everything more intensely which leads to you to reconsider certain relationships and situations that have proved dissatisfying. Jealousy isn’t really your thing, so if you experience such feelings consider them a red flag. September’s great for real estate deals if you are thinking of purchasing property. Use the energy of the full moon to make a professional change. If you are dissatisfied no matter how much recognition you receive then you are in the wrong line of work.

Pisces

In September, partnership plays paramount for Pisces. You crave a true mate, someone who counterbalances the extremes of your personality. Forming an alliance with an equally giving person will cultivate substantial security for you. As a logical extension, some Pisces may consider cohabitation or marriage. This could be a positive change as long as you remember inviting someone else in requires compromise. The full moon brings a much needed dose of assertiveness to your personality. Speak your truth unequivocally Pisces; abandon the need to please.

Aries

September provides a great opportunity to organize your life, Aries. Remove physical clutter first which will give you room to think. Clean up messy finances by paying off debt and simplifying expenses. Minimize obligations and soften your schedule to the bare minimum. You’ll be surprised how much you accomplish when you focus only on essentials. Remember your health is most important, so examine your routines and cut out destructive patterns. The full moon gives you the courage to let go of unhealthy emotional attachments.

Taurus

Taurus enjoys a super sexy and fertile September. This month you’re all about a good time and you do your best to coax a party out of every place you go. Channel dramatic feelings into your personal styling choices and not into your relationships. The full moon makes you the most popular of all, so you might as well take advantage of the positive energy with a ton of social engagements. Get the gang together! Flirt with strangers. Your best impression is when you are most yourself. Toward the end of the month, implement strategies in areas where you would like to see improvement. With six months of commitment, you’ll see results.

Gemini

Nourish yourself and nurture loved ones in September, Gemini. Enjoy visits with family and friends. More emotional than usual, you may get a little weepy. Experience your feelings without judgment and with a healthy dose of compassion. Get your home organized and tidy for the change of season. Stock your fridge with healthy foods. The full moon on the 8th bestows professional benefits on Gemini. After three weeks of sofa surfing, you’ll be ready to get out and flirt towards the end of September. If you fancy someone, show it.

Cancer

Cancer is especially chatty this September – and for you that’s saying something! This boost of quality communication benefits work, family, and relationships. This type of energy needs an external outlet, so fill your days with spontaneity and an assortment of fun diversions. If you feel a bit overwhelmed at moments, just remind yourself that this is but a temporary frenzy. On the eighth, the full moon brings travel lust. If you can’t get away, fuck a foreigner.

Leo

Earn your keep in September, Leo. Work super hard to replenish your finances. Savings are critical to your long-term success and ability to take risks. Start with prioritizing what is most important. Protect and nourish those aspects. You won’t have the patience for draining people this month. Just ignore them and they will go away. Spend free time with fun folks in undemanding situations. The full moon supports deep bonding with your partner. Enjoy the best sex of the year and the flood of emotion that follows.

Happy Birthday Leo! You like to pretend you don’t like a fuss Leo, but that’s just because you know darn well everyone always makes a fuss for you on your birthday. Welcome change by altering your look without falling prey to rampant materialism. Mars-Saturn energy can be used for good or evil. At worst this combo evokes jealousy, stubbornness, and revenge, but those qualities are not characteristic of you, so instead use the influence as a moral barometer. In August, if situations feel even a little hinky take the ethical high ground. Usually a good communicator, you are even better in August, so speak your truth and have “the talk.” Fertile with creativity, channel your talent into producing tangible beauty. Surely you already feel Jupiter’s invigorating influence in Leo urging you to fuck and travel, not necessarily in that order. Mid-August, turn down the covers for Venus as she enters your bedroom, Leo. Have your sexy fun. Then pull it together and clean yourself up after the 23rd.

Virgo

Astrologically speaking Virgo, the weeks before your birthday are a wise time to quietly regroup for the coming year. A dietary cleanse, house purge, and visit to the doctor for an annual physical are good places to start. While experiencing lagging energy, some of your regular routines fall by the way side. It may feel like you are active because of the demands on your time, but when is the last occasion you actually broke a sweat (unrelated to anxiety)? You can’t afford to waste energy worrying. August offers a respite and opportunity to turn inward. Within this period of soul searching, Virgo may experience some feelings of disappointment, depression, and isolation which should dissipate after the 23rd. Timing plays a pivotal role in your success this month.

Libra

Financial concerns preoccupy your mind through most of the August, Libra. Partnered Libras must work through these money worries with your mate which could stir domestic discord when sacrifices must be made for the benefit of the budget. Professionally, Libra wants to work with and for people you admire and trust. Your little work family means more than you realize. Value them accordingly because this is a big year for collaborating in groups. When you are in the trenches, you want someone to have your back. August presents a number of chances for fun and random encounters. Libras looking to spark with another should make themselves available at such gatherings (especially August 10th). Enjoy yourself; just don’t get too wasted.

Scorpio

Scorpio benefits from an amazing career boosting configuration in August. Jupiter provides a steady positive influence until this time next year. Add the glow of the Sun, the popularity and collaboration of Venus, and Mercury’s clarity of communication and you have all the makings for a professionally unstoppable Scorpio. Strive for excellence to make the most of this power. While happy to hear that your prestige and earnings are on the upswing, Scorpios long for love. Family and friends supply the emotional nourishment you need this month. Look to a strong woman for support. Scorpio’s health and wellness are vulnerable now, so take quality care of yourself in August.

Sagittarius

Sags, your theme in August is distance which manifests in travel, receiving guests, or news from afar. Take that last minute trip you are itching for. If geographically bound to home, make an internet friend from the other side of the world. Sags have a hankering for foreign culture this summer. August 10th brings long awaited news. When the going gets tough, love lubricates the difficult moments. Partnered Sags connect through a deep sense of gratitude. Over the next year, Jupiter will influence your desire to pursue specialized education. Practice and study to achieve true mastery. The areas of concern this month are money and health. August serves up financial peril – at best delays, at worst substantial loss. Care for yourself properly and minimize unnecessary risks.

Capricorn

Venus waltzes in to romance Capricorn and make you especially lucky in love, but watch out because the Sun is in Leo your house of extremes. The upside to this influence is that it leaves you pliant, easy-going, warm, sexual, and snuggly. The downside is that emotionally you will feel embarrassingly needy, uncomfortable, and pathetic. Finances look favorable. An unexpected investment opportunity may spring forth from the romantic relationship you’re cultivating. For Cap, money and love make comfortable bedfellows. Collaboration creates cash flow in August. Just be judicious with whom you invest with when it comes to friends. To remain healthy, spend your free time fucking or sleeping instead of fussing and fretting.

Aquarius

Relationships play a central theme for Aquarius over the next year with Jupiter’s influence. The Sun and Mercury enter the scene to add magnetic glow and support clear communication. Seek relationships based on reciprocity and balance. With this three-way energetic influence no one can resist your charm. A full schedule keeps boredom at bay, but when you get worn out you also get combative, bitchy, and intolerable. Know when to say no. August isn’t the time to burn bridges with prosperous contacts because you’re in a bad mood. Sleep soundly. Drink less booze. Eat better. Spend devoted time with members of your family who nourish, fortify, and love you.

Pisces

Love, sex, and lust, these are the prominent themes for Pisces this August. With this energy comes risk for a certain degree of naughtiness. The least prudent among you may commence an illicit affair or engage in other ill-advised risky sexual behavior. Practical partnered Pisces pour this energy into strengthening the dynamic duo. Eventually, the tingle in your pants dissipates enough for you to begin to think clearly again. August offers opportunities for you to make the highest and best use of your talents. You can relax because you are competent and have a genuine camaraderie with coworkers. Book beauty and therapy appointments for very favorable results in August.

Aries

August has all the makings for a damn good month, Aries. The atmosphere is ripe for love. You look good. You feel good, and you are ready to take chances. The Sun, Mercury, and Venus play matchmakers. People enjoy your charisma and want to make friends. Open up to the idea of expanding your social circle. Ambition amps your attitude towards work. Clear professional objectives literally pay off; initiate mass organization on the 23rd. Avoid financing and just pay cash. Resist day-trading or other speculative financial dealings this month. Push yourself to get sweaty, go beyond working out in the gym and get outside. Wear a helmet to remain safe during accident-prone August.

Taurus

Taurus adopts a stubborn and detrimental stance in relationships in August. Already unyielding, this influence adds a layer of irrationality that only a hard-headed Bull would entertain. You’ll find yourself in sticky situations personally and professionally. Committed Bulls have the added pressure of working through the struggle with your partner. The discord provides a meaningful test for your relationship. If you can get through this without tearing each other apart then there’s substance there worth retaining. Single Bulls should stay that way, as your shitty attitude will spoil the nascent stirrings of love. August is a favorable time to add to your real estate holdings, so spend the month torturing your real estate agent.

Gemini

Connecting through communication is your theme for August, Gemini. Hearing the right phrase at the right time, a sense of intellectual collaboration, these are the moments that bring you closer to others this month. When you find someone that sees the world as you do, it sparks your passion and a number of intense, bonding conversations will follow. Travel may be on the calendar, but even Geminis remaining close to home will have a packed schedule. This month, Gemini encounters challenging problems which can leave you in a state of overwhelmed paralysis. Use humor to get you through the roughest patches. You are strong enough and smart enough to ultimately persevere.

Cancer

Cancer craves stability and security in August. Practical matters like budgets and organizing your daily routine dominate. With Jupiter influencing your pocketbook, you can look forward to a full year of solid income. When some Crabs get their claws on more cash, they spend, spend, spend. No. No. No. Line your shell with savings. Order the small. Do not take a dessert to go. Emotionally tender, your closest moments will happen with a loved one near the 10th. Failure to make your health a priority will result in disastrous consequences. Keep your body moving and force yourself to break a sweat. Generally speaking, discipline isn’t your strength, but it’s time to start flexing that muscle.
